If you like where this is, just prune it each year in the early spring or late fall. It handles heavy pruning very well. Otherwise, wait til it is dormant, early spring before it starts to leaf out.

When is the best time to move peonies? Actually what do I do with them after I dig them up? I'm asking because these are old peonies. They come up ever year but don't always bloom well. They are more shaded now than when we moved here and I want to move them to a sunnier location I can enjoy.

after they have finished blooming and the leaves start dying back, around September/first of October is the best time. They probably need to be divided and replanted. They aren't blooming well because they are too large and do need more sun. That's what happens and they probably haven't had any fertilizer (?). Cut off the leaves down to the ground, dig them up and divide them (I gave you a link for that process), toss what you don't want.

Just post any more questions when you are ready!
